    Not to be harsh but if you have to ask I can only assume you don't know exactly what you are getting into.

    Yes the motor would fit but how will you do everything else?

    You'd need a tune for sure, depending on year and if you have the vacuum 4T60e I wouldn't want to do the swap.

    Your mechanic sounds like a moron. Not cranking has nothing to do with a bad timing chain, and it wouldn't be solved with a new engine.

    What could cause the belt and none of the pulleys to spin then?

    A bad starter would be my first thought.

    I've seen a few bad chains, typically it was an aftermarket double roller before they were figured out as being Aussie crank chains and not US. I've seen a couple tensioners go bad and hose things up.. but it's not common at all.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Could have hydro-locked too, pull a spark plug or two and you'd really know that answer.
